Hi @bruceharold,
Can you tell us more about how you want to use COG? Since our GeoTIFF support is based on GDAL we can handle COG data, but if you are hoping to directly consume it (ie stream it) from a URL without downloading the files first, I think we have some infrastructure to build to enable that.
Best,
Nathan

Hi Nathan, customers have asked us if we can convert Synthetic Aperture Radar data to COG.

Ah for writing to Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF, the team tested today and we were close but no cigar. We're seeing if we can get a minor change in for FME 2019.0, FME 2019.1 for sure. It turns out that supporting COG is really about fixing a set of options that we expose in our GeoTIFF writer (once we make a couple minor adjustments in the code) and so we're thinking of exposing Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF as a separate writer with the set of fixed options just removed so that no one gets themselves in trouble. Watch this space...

Yes, I think these should be 2 "formats" to not confuse the users. How is the progress moving on?

@nathanatsafe More on this, ArcGIS Pro now supports cloud storage connections to a bunch of providers, for the purpose of reading imagery, and COG is a leading candidate, we just need a way to create the COG file from image sources.

Thanks for the update @bruceharold. We have been investigating writing COGs but still have some work to do. I'll add your comments to our internal tracking of the issue.
Any further word on this? I'm updating the https://www.cogeo.org/ and want to add in FME :) But looks like ArcGIS Pro has a format that FME doesn't ;) https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/data/imagery/supported-raster-dataset-file-formats.htm (Perhaps it's there, but my google search came up with this page as the top hit.)

A specific Reader/Writer for COG is definitely a "must have" for FME. Any news on this ?

Any progress of this? seems to be more easily supported in other software tools now, for instance Geoserver. Which makes it VERY handy to be able to create these files straight out of FME!

There is now documentation available on this COG format on GDAL pages (https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/cog.html) -

Any update on a COGT Writer for FME? This would optimize the use of GeoServer for us as it has excellent support for this data type. Interested in an update from @DaleAtSafe on this. Thanks.

Hot topic ! Will this be available in FME 2022 ? This should be very easy to implement, just a parameter in gdal

This seems to be partially available from FME(R) 2022.0.0.0 (20220124 - Build 22270 - WIN64) - however it currently does not support JPEG + BIGTIFF - so that limits the usefulness to files less than 4 GB currently, filed as C668499. Can be downloaded here https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/

@sigtill Thanks for your request / feedback. Our new COG reader/writer now has JPEG / BigTIFF support - available in recent FME2022.0 betas. Note that enhancements to our COG support show up under GEOTIFF since COG support is baked in - not a separate reader / writer.
FME 2022.0 b22279 20220203
GEOTIFF: JPEG compression not supported for BigTiff
